In depth
Verdict
Hard Toffee has won four times on the Flat but fell when making a belated debut over hurdles. DOLLY MCQUEEN weakened off the home turn when fifth over 2m4f here last time so should appreciate the drop in distance. She runs in her first seller and is receiving weight all round so is probably the one to beat with Irish import Master Artist penalised and having a first run for new connections.
